The Granata have not scored in 16 out of 35 matches and Juric admits his faults in the setup of the squad
For the ninth time in this championship, the Turin he finishes one of his matches without scoring or conceding any goals, thus equaling the 0-0 season record in the history of Serie A, which today belongs to both Mazzone’s Brescia in 2002/2003 and Ficcadenti and Ballardini’s Cagliari in 2011/2012. An certainly unusual achievement, but quite significant of what a year Ivan’s Bull lived Juric and its game proposal.
Turin, too many difficulties in kicking on goal
—
Against Bologna came yet another 0-0 of a year in which yes, the Granata stood out for an excellent defensive phase, but also for the extreme difficulty in kicking on goal and, consequently, in inflating the net. If, historically, in the Juric era, the team created a lot without being able to materialize, this season the shots on goal have been lacking. Beyond a few sporadic matches (e.g. Empoli-Turin), in which opportunities abounded, too many times the Granata created almost nothing, especially at home and often against medium-small teams (Cagliari, Verona, Salernitana and Frosinone above all ).
Juric admits: “I was wrong to trust certain players at the beginning of the year”
—
Beyond Duvan’s good performance in front of goal Zapata, Torino lacked the contribution of others. In 16 out of 35 matches in this Serie A, in fact, Toro has not scored. On this, Juric expressed himself thus in the post-match of the match against Bologna: “I think we made a mistake at the beginning of the year by trusting players who didn’t give us results. Some players could have scored a few more goals as a characteristic. Looking at the career numbers, I was too optimistic. If you look at the career goal numbers of our players are quite low.” In short, the performance in the scoring area of the various Granata players was evidently below expectations and, on this, the Croatian coach certainly did not want to go around it, taking responsibility for some choices.
